1. One of those is right in both of your answers
2. Well done
3. No, No, No, No. Might have scored but was he the captain?

[Local Rules]

The Jets haven’t scored on a Friday night so far this season. - Jeterpool

So their wives and girlfriends think they are on the nose as well

[Xander]

How long do you give it until people start complaining that their Jets fridge magnet told them the game was on Saturday?

Maybe when they sit down on Friday night and turn on SBS to see the Jets are playing...

[Buddha]

3. Zelic & Ryan Griffiths

[Grimario]

Our beloved captain has been given 3 weeks off. Let's see how we go with Griff (c) till the new years.

What! That's absolutely ridiculous!

[Grimario]

What! That's absolutely ridiculous!

Agreed. Should have banned him for life so Griff can take the top spot forever.

[MFKS]

Agreed. Should have banned him for life so Griff can take the top spot forever.

If we keep a clean sheet we will finally know what the problem was

[Superdylan]

So if we cannot win on Friday night we equal our longest unbeaten streak correct?

Think we can snatch a draw out of this one. Adelaide play midweek so fatigue may play a factor in their performance Friday.

[Jeterpool]

Zelic and Matt Thompson?

Zelic and Matt Thompson?

Nice one

[belchardo]

After watching the match last night and seeing how easily Adelaide controlled Perth, and remembering how easily Perth controlled us, we are in for such a world of hurt on Friday night…

I think we’ll be lucky if we only concede 5.

You must have been reading my mind... i was thinking the exact same thing watching last night!

[Jeterpool]

They're just making it look so easy. Perhaps they will all be drunk after last night, or Cirio and Carrusca miss the flight.

[belchardo]

I honestly think our only hope is playing jeronimo and hoping he has a screamer against his old team (and tarek and Goodwin don't do the same thing)

[idontwannaplaywithhowey]

I'm scared of what will happen in this one. IM praying for over exuberant celebrations and fatigue from Adelaide.
Maybe we should get the soaker hoses out and bring back the puddle. that's our only hope.

[leftrightout]

Im not looking forward to Carrusca getting on the ball feeding Cirio, Mabil and Ferreira to have our wide backs one on one.
Particularly Mabil and Ferreira on their right hand side...

[Jetmaster]

What is a Tarek goal paying - it's karma....

[Jeterpool]

Im not looking forward to Carrusca getting on the ball feeding Cirio, Mabil and Ferreira to have our wide backs one on one.

Keep on feeding it to Mabil. Bloke can't shoot for shit

lets prepare the field like Wanderers vs Cruz Azul in the club world cup. And play for the 0-0

we'll still lose by plenty.

I think gogo will score

[plague]

Not attending.
Just realised it said $2 wristband, not wristy.

**** this club.

[leftrightout]

Keep on feeding it to Mabil. Bloke can't shoot for shit

This guy will destroy us tonight. Just have a feeling against our defence, he might gain a lot more confidence. He gets into so many great positions against a good defence, imagine the chances he will have against us!
He is obviously hot and cold (very cold sometimes) with his shooting but i rate him so highly for his potential and is never short on entertainment!

[weston]

Got a street fair for Christmas going to take the kids to tonight. Life just keeps giving me reasons to not watch the jets lately. Someone's looking after me.

[MFKS]

Someone from the club just sent me a text urging me to go to the game tonight.

They do know I am going anyway only to cheer on the Griff and abuse the rest of the useless cunce

[Imyourhero]

We suck

[The Dunster]

I hope Takka and Goodwin have big games tonight so as to show just how crap the management at the Jets really are.

The way these two were treated by the club was woeful.

[the blue manc]

expecting a goal fest tonight. Mostly from Adelaide.

But we'll score first and be winning at the 70th minute.

[Jeterpool]

News said Montano and Virgili starting

[halo se7en]

Jets paying $4.50.... get on it...

[halo se7en]

Scrap that... the Jets to lead at HT and Adelaide to win is paying $26.00. Winner!

[Grimario]

Jets playing 343... What are the odds on -5 and Adelaide win?

[Buddha]

Back 3 Hahahahahaha 5-1 loss

[The Postman]

Harper showing his true colours on the HT show

[weston]

Nev :wub:

[matty]

So correct me if im wrong but didnt scotty brake the scoring drought last year aswell? History repeating itself?

[boz-monaut]

about time we threw this game away - in front by one at the hour mark, the script is saying we will concede soon

[Grimario]

Goodwin to score anytime. Printing money.

[Buddha]

Cmon 2-1 Adelaide ....

[weston]

I'm so used to this I'm not even mad

[Buddha]

Hahahahahaha **** me sideways, even when you want the ****s to lose they **** you over

[plague]

Stubbins HAS to get coach of the yeah now yeah?

[plague]

This corner work is classic Bridges.

Gooooooooooooo Topes

[boz-monaut]

time to sign all our marginal squad members to five year contracts

give Stubbins another ten

[Bec]

Yay!!!

[plague]

Only saw the last 5 mins but clearly Griff was man of the match yeah?

[MFKS]

Seriously shitted off with these cunce. It is an absolute ****ing disgrace it has taken so ****ing long to feel this way. Winning a simple game of football should not be as hard as these cunce have made it look this season.

For all those loyal fans enjoy tonight and remember what it feels like. It is a feeling we have to demand from our club in the future.

As for the game lets face facts for large parts of the game we were seriously outplayed. Tonight was our night with the luck going our way finally.
We got the win but lets keep things in perspective. We still have a lot of work to do.

As for Adelaide how shit of a coach is Gombau??
Lost to a team as shit as us. Outwitted by Stubbins

[Jeterpool]

I've forgotten what it feels like to win. It's ****ing great!

Even if we hadn't got a result today I was thinking that was the best the team had looked all year. A number of standouts for me tonight. I thought Virgili played really well. That extra bit of room and he looked a lot more dangerous. Even looked a bit stronger. Kanta and Caravella were immense tonight. They did so much work.

I honestly didn't think we only had 33% possession. I thought we had more so there you go.

Something really good to build upon. The monkey is off the back

[Jeterpool]

And what's with the standard of officiating. Strebre was really willing to give Adelaide any advantage it could at some points.

Was Goodwin offside? There were thoughts around us that he was

[Grimario]

And what's with the standard of officiating. Strebre was really willing to give Adelaide any advantage it could at some points.

Nah, not even close. Good yard behind Jeggo and the ball.

[Grimario]

****ing hell, it's going to be so good at work on Monday. All the ****ing pissants that have been giving me shit... time to rub it in a bit.

[hawk]

Smashed it. Did they even get a kick? didnt think so.

[baldrick]

I was almost as nervous in injury time as I was in the grand final

[lquiquer]

927

[The Dunster]

Great effort and a well deserved result for the Jets.

Glad I was there to see the first win of the season.

[2285]

i have backed jets every week $to win cause my heart is stonger than my brain,but this week i said to self! brain back the draw ...****kkkk me !!! i lost my money again but it was the best $25 i have spent this season

[plague]

Can't believe the Member hasn't blown up about either goal scorer going to celebrate with Bay 60
#jetsh8dasquadron

[BodyNovo]

What I miss

928

[pv4]

time to sign all our marginal squad members to five year contracts

give Stubbins another ten

:rof: Virgili to get a 2 year extension now for sure.

[pv4]

For me, even not considering the goal, Scott neville was easily our best.

Hoole i thought was lucky not to get a second yellow.

Virgili will earn a lot of renewed fans from tonight but i still found him awful, his crossing is diabolical and even the good moments he did were just made redundant when he tried to cross afterwards.

Did Jeronimo truly rep the badge after scoring? :rof: if so.

This is a huge bandaid fix for stubbins. He rode his luck playing 3 at the back. And if it wasn't for Adelaide not actively attempting to win the game for 60mins, things could have been a lot worse.

33% possession at home is poor. Time wasting when drawing 1 all at home is poor.

If we played this poorly but got the win every week, i could handle it. But because i know this is a lucky result for us, I'm still in the Stubbins Out train.

I hope Bridges did well with the stopwatch tonight.

[furns]

Didn't come over at full time en masse either
Waited so long for an effing win, and they completely forget about the victory celebration in front of bay 60 ffs

Viewing from the top stand, it seemed to me that after Stubbins did his whole circle jerk thing (can't wait to read Loweys comments on THAT) the boys didn't know exactly wjat to do but Carney went straight for the Lunatics corner, and it seemed to me it was on purpose that he wanted to ignore bay 60 corner. So a few followed him, which turned into all but Neville and BK. Actually i don't think Caravella did any form of crowd celebrating, he just stayed in the middle with the coaches. And i think Montano had ice on his leg so barely hobbled anywhere.

That's how it seemed to me

A couple did come over separately, Montano, Griff, Hoole and one or two others. But whenever we win, they need to come over so we can do the celebration with them.

[Mitchy]

We are winners

[Blackmac79]

I'd like to thank waspy, my grandfather, daves brother, bodi for not being there, bald seco wearing a skirt, top gun jimmy, and every other bastard that made my job in the squadron easier.

With out you this would not have been possible.

Carney and Griff moved towards us gave us a clap, we started singing for Griff.
Griff then came all the way over and called everyone else on in, things then got epic.

Griff is god
Griff is good
Griff is great
Griff is everything

Feel free to quote this for longevity.

I been his harshest critic but Caravelle had a good dig last night well in.

[MFKS]

#jetsh8dasquadron

Actually will have a pop at that David Carney. When Neville scored the entire side made it to Neville doing the honourable thing and celebrating with the fans bar him and BK. I will cut BK some slack as Keepers are not prone to running 100 metres to join in goal celebrations every time. Carney just stood in the middle of the field in the middle of Adelaide half watching the goal on the big screen and could not give a ****

**** Him. Not the type of attitude I want to see from my team.

**** I hope we get rid of him. Has attacking skills that are handyhis downsides to me ie his laziness in defence/ lack of support for teammates/ abuse of fans/ piss poor attitude/ always first down the tunnel shit me to tears.

I was not impressed when he was handed the armband when Griff was subbed. Would rather it have went to Neville/BK than this bloke than this bloke who shows no ****ing desire/passion for the town.


**** Him

[WolfMan]

+1 on both counts. Probably passed forwards more last night than all other matches combined. Looked hungry, tracked back a decent amount.

[Nelson Bay Road]

one can only imagine how much better player virgili would be if he could cross the ball...

good to see most players dig in last night

[sammydog]

Waiting for the replay to start. Game is all a bit of a haze last night. Glad I didn't decide to stay at the street party.

Gold Coast Caravella showed up last night. He was brilliant

[The Dunster]

The players came over to the terrace / bays 1 and two and high fived / shook hands with the fans.

Griffo gets it and you could see it meant a lot to the fans that stayed back.

[borat]

First home game I have been to in 2 years and picked a good one. Atmosphere was fantastic.

On the game, kudos to Stubbins. Formation was perfect for Adelaide. Virgilli and Hoole played well on the counter and Caravella had the time to control our attack in the Middle of the park. Back 3 were superb with Neville getting a special mention.

My only criticism is our strikers. Griffiths and Montano as a combination does not work as neither are mobile enough. There was zero pressure on the Adelaide backline with even Caravella charging forward at one stage when Montano was bludging.

Neuman needs a run of starts and will continue to find the goal. But special mention has to go to Mitch Cooper. As soon as he came on he energised the team, applied pressure across the park and I felt changed the game in our favour in the last 15mins. Deserves a starting role next week.

[joel31]

How did Carney get MOTM. He was terrible. He got one assist but the rest of his work was lazy and unspectacular

[sammydog]

I don't think he was man of the match material, but watching the replay I thought he had a good game.

[hawk]

Kanta put in some strong defence

And ... Our shirts look like henny penny Knights fk that shIt off.

[baldrick]

Did we water the pitch just before kick off, like most other games in the past few years

Maybe Phil read Lowey's article in the herald during the week..


And: have we ever had 3 different players wear the captain's arm band in a single game ?

[hawk]

:rof: Virgili to get a 2 year extension now for sure.

If he continues this form he will be sold. No use holding onto good players ay.

[Grimario]

Wtf were fox doing giving Jeronimo the post match interviewer? He talked about how much he loved Adelaide ffs

[Jetmaster]

How did Carney get MOTM. He was terrible. He got one assist but the rest of his work was lazy and unspectacular

Where did you get this? Virgili was named MOM at the ground and Montano got the Alex Tobin points.


I hope Bridges did well with the stopwatch tonight.

Mate - this is bordering on paranoia, who in their right mind would be worried about what Bridgey is doing after our first win??

[Tommyjet]

Kanta put in some strong defence

And ... Our shirts look like henny penny Knights fk that shIt off.
Kanta took control of carrusca

[Retro Jet]

Hello peeps
Retro watched the minute by minute updates yesterday morning in Germany with the PoxSports A-League app.
Sigh of relief when we didn't cough up an equaliser.

Now, seeing the internet turds of the world don't like people in other countries to watch their video content, can anyone help with some technicalities on how I can watch video replays from here?
I tried an aussie proxy server on SBS, Fox and the Roar sites - all blocked vid content being sent OS. :(

Something clicked last night, maybe Kew out?

Something clicked last night, maybe Kew out?

We were discussing the same. I think maybe the exchange in formation and may have been in. It introduced an extra body into the middle of the park...we'll sort of

[Jeterpool]

What I liked last night was someone putting the ball straight back in the mixer after it popped following a corner. It's been long overdue because we usually retreat to the keeper on those occasions.

Clicked??

All that happened was Adelaide comprehensively outplayed us yet somehow we came away with the win

. Sure we will all enjoy the feeling of winning but what we did last night will see us lose more often than we win.



Only a crackpot would think we have turned some corner

Geez member enjoy a friggin win!! The table doesn't care how we played

Its about putting it in perspective. This win was the result of the style we have played this season and probability suggested we would win one of the games we got lead in sooner or later. So far we have played 11 games and we have not done enough in any of them to deserve winning one of them.

If Adelaide play that way again they will win 90% of the time.
We keep playing the way we are we will still keep losing with the rare anomaly of a win like last night.

Perspective not delusion

[joel31]

How did Carney get MOTM. He was terrible. He got one assist but the rest of his work was lazy and unspectacular
I say it on FB or twitter or something

[Jeterpool]

Virgili was announced mom at ground

[hawk]

so, i wonder who we'll play in the semis?

Bullshit, we are gonna win the league now!

[Macca]

Disagree that Adelaide carved us up, sure they had a truckload of possession but the majority of that was around the halfway line and I thought the energy and pressing was far better than anything else we've thrown up this season and restricted them to relying mostly on long balls from halfway in the first half at least. There was a spell of 15 minutes or so starting 5 minutes before they scored where we dropped off and I thought they were gonna run away with it, but a couple of subs and we nabbed the second goal and then we seemed to get the spring back in the step and closed it out. I guess I feel like even though they had most of the possession, they didn't have all that much useful possession? For the most part we never bothered trying to hang on to it, as soon as we got it we went on the attack while they had no such inclinations bar the middle period of the second half. They had a couple of good squandered chances, but so did we. Hoole/Montano should have scored towards the end of the first half and Cooper should have scored or assisted late in the game, had a free man to his right screaming for it.

Caravella MOM for me, thought he bossed it both on the ball doing all the simple things right and had heaps of energy tracking back and breaking down play in defense. Welsh struggled to contain Mabil but that was a mismatch and he did the best he could have.

Agree with all that except caravella. He had his best game for us but was still a bit ordinary defensively. He left kanta with a 2 or 3 Adelaide players to mark consistently throughout the game while he ball watched. zenons best game with the ball but not without it. I would still prefer peps and celeski over him in there every day of the year even when he is at his best.

[Macca]

I noticed him go walkabout and press the defenders/keeper two or maybe three times which then left a huge hole in the middle and had potential to cause us issues and nearly did one time. You may be right though, I'm a bit guilty of ball watching at times, both when spectating and playing haha so I might have missed him slacking off in the background at times.

[borat]

Stubbins set the team to play counter attacking football, and surprisingly his game plan worked well against Addlaide. Substitutes made a difference for a change rather than being ill timed and detrimental. The better team won and only a fool would suggest we were lucky. The test will be if we can do it again.

[borat]

I am no Caravella fan, but he pressed because our strikers were standing like statues for large portions of the game allowing the Adelaide backline to gently to pass the ball around. It was frustrating to watch let alone be out there.

As soon as Neuman and Cooper came on that changed.

[Jetmaster]

Possession stats mean sweet FA.....don't care if we have the ball 5% to 95% - goals are the stat that matters.

[Imyourhero]

I honestly felt like that was the worst i've seen Adelaide play this season.

[Hunter403]

The biggest mistake Stubbins made on the night was not bringing on Pepper the second Mobil came on. His game is simple: run at the defender. Put on a fast fit bloke who can stop him from doing this and he is quiet. Their goal (and all their threats) cam from him on the second half. Welsh couldn't go with him.

Caravella looks good when he leaves the roundabout at home and transitions quickly. Never sure which version of him will show up.

Virgilli had his best game in ages. BK looked good even though he finds the sideline too often. I thought Carney was strong.

It is still evident that the time isn't fit enough.

I think we played the best way we could against them. I'm just glad we met them as their 3rd game in 8 days. I suspect the result would have been different had they been fresh.

[pv4]

Just watching the highlights again..

If Stubbins is going to employ Virgili as a track-back type winger again, he'll need to actually teach him how to defend. Kept Jeggo onside, and didn't even get close to Goodwin (who he was marking) for the Adelaide goal.

where all sick and tired of your whinging about Virgili. we all know you hate him, but just get over it that he played a decent game..
your starting to pick crap up about the stuff he did wrong in the game. if he was the player you want him to be he would not be in this league. he will be overseas.
the whole team and every player has faults mate.

[pv4]

the whole team and every player has faults mate.

And they are being discussed.

[pv4]

Why is it that Carney can put in a shift better than Virgili's, and be blasted, nitpicked, etc on (like he has for every decent game he's played this season). But someone brings up valid nitpicks/arguments against/worries that are evident in Virgili's game, and get lampooned for it?

IMO it helps that he has considerably improved. BK a few years ago, I'd sweat with nerves anytime the ball went even close to him. Nowadays, I'm less nervous but still of the belief he is at best a reserve HAL keeper.

Luckily I have resigned myself to the fact that our squad will mostly be made up of reserve HAL players, old guys looking for a last kick before retirement, and failed imports now, and forever on, because I am unable to see the sky ever truly being lifted on this club.

well if you read my previous posts a couple of weeks ago i actually had my say about the carney incident as well. defending him that is,

but you have had it in for vigilli since day one, Thats the issue.

Why is it that we finally win a game and people do nothing but ****ing whinge about something or another, or some player or another....3 points, that's all that counts. End of!

May be because people aren't fooled that because we won a game, all our issues are gone. Fact is we still looked very shakey and were lucky to get the three points.

I mostly agree with this.

3 points is not all that counts.

3 points against CCM, and finishing above them, is all that counts. And if we can only gain points through basically luck, and not highlight the obvious issues shown in our performances that other teams will instantly exploit, then ththere's less hope we'll survive like we somehow did v Adelaide.

[pv4]

but you have had it in for vigilli since day one, Thats the issue.

Do my former/current views on Virgili change the notion that largely he was at fault for Adelaides goal, and it is something that coaching staff need to address or else it would seem highly likely other teams will exploit it?

[GazFish35]

I saw the replay and I can honestly say I can see the point in time when virgilli's brain snaps from "pv4 doesn't rate me" to "shit, I should have been marking that dude"


It happened when the big screen showed the goal for the third time just prior to the restart.

His body expression is one of "oh, shit" the moment Jeggo plays the ball. As would all of our reactions if we let our man slip like that.

I don't expect Virgili to be a world-beating defender, particularly because he's rarely used there at all, but I'd like these kind of experiments to happen on someone elses time if we're any chance of winning games.

The experiment happened during game time and we did win the game.

[Tommyjet]

If we can sign a left back in jan and keep the same formation, you'd think hoole will move to the right, provided form is consistent ofcourse

Ok, if we are going down the nitty gritty on whos fault the goal was. i can honestly say who the **** let mabil go on his side , give him so much room to get behind 3 players to square it..
To me thats the main ****up for the goal.

It was a pretty smart move to put a fresh Mabil up against a tired, rookie defender in Welsh. Good play by Gombau there. Jeggo's run through was also brilliant. They simply carved our defence up.

Jets v Adelaide Trivia:
1. Who are the only two Visa players to have captained the Jets in this fixture?

2. Who was in goals for each team in the first A-League match between these clubs?

3. Who are the two Jets players to have scored in this fixture while wearing the captains armband?

Only answer people didn't get was for Question 1. Answers were Michael Bridges and Vaughn Coveny

[GazFish35]

Jeterpool, please check you're stats.

The answer is never, was never and shall always never be Michael Bridges.


People thinking he was the answer is what's gotten us into such a mess in the first place.
